We all experience stress. This course, which is part one of a three-part series, reviews how stress affects behavior, biology, and psychology on a daily basis and during emergencies.
We’ll also explore the idea of resilience — our ability as individuals, organizations, and communities to adapt and recover in spite of difficult conditions. Finally, we’ll look at some key ways we can build resilience in both our lives and workplaces.
Reviewers say, "There were some helpful tools that were addressed in the training."
